Very good. I made this recipe today. I didn't notice it called for 2 cans of tuna-I only bought one. I used about 1/2 cup peas and 1 celery rib. Didn't measure the mayonaise & think I used less than 2 cups. Thank you.

A very quick and simple tuna pasta salad with very good flavor. I enjoyed this for lunch very much. I didn't cook my peas, I like the taste and texture of frozen peas. I think that you could add just about anything to this salad, hard boiled eggs, some cheddar cheese, olives, etc. You can use whatever you like. Good recipe, thank you.

I wanted a quick, simple recipe to take to a cookout, with ingredients I already had. I whipped this up and it was quite good. I used light mayo, read onion and, since I was out of tuna, a can of boneless, skinless salmon instead. It was easy and tasty.
